Please don't be mistaken in thinking that I'm unaware that poverty, homelessness and disenfranchisement exists, even in the most supportive of countries (like France). However, (of course, this is my opinion) people like this woman have chosen begging as a profession. What disturbs me about this is that there are those who aren't capable, who are neglected and forgotten about by their country (especially people with disabilities in France) who have not been given the choice to earn a living, and it seems to me that this woman is a fraud among those who are really suffering.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078386635713721679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-22360817408320163712008-10-30T05:57:00.000-05:002008-10-30T05:57:00.000-05:00Do you really, really think that these people enjo...Do you really, really think that these people enjoy begging, that they wouldn't work if it were an alternative?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-63386723022843586792008-10-30T02:38:00.000-05:002008-10-30T02:38:00.000-05:00I would've clapped! :)just as an aside, something ...I would've clapped! :)<BR/><BR/>just as an aside, something brought me to actually VISIT your blog today instead of just reading it through my google reader (I'm so lazy like that - but it's so easy!) and I saw you had put the info for the podcast awards on your sidebar! awww you're so sweet! thankyou! *hugs*Katiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328595416012961528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-21181005485487021352008-10-29T19:34:00.000-05:002008-10-29T19:34:00.000-05:00he, he! funny story. it reminds me of what happen...he, he! funny story. it reminds me of what happened to me last night at Godfather's pizza!Candy @ Mommypaloozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472046818295100973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-7083206696528158522008-10-29T16:22:00.000-05:002008-10-29T16:22:00.000-05:00I know my solution is to just be perfectly polite ...I know my solution is to just be perfectly polite say hello and then say no, sorry when they ask for cash. I have to do it all the time here with the nomades running around Rennes. It's nice, though, when someone speaks up without being rude or patronizing.
